All Her Secrets

Chapter 799 Happy Forever

When Catherine emerged from the laboratory building, the sky outside had already turned dark. If it weren’t for Marshall urging her to leave, she would have planned to finish her work from the previous night.

Glancing at the time on her phone, Catherine realized it was already past dinner time, and the curfew was approaching. Considering Isabella usually went to bed early, she decided to leave the campus to grab something to eat before returning to her apartment. If she had time, she planned to make a trip to see Connie.

With Withal and Zobber likely recovered by now, Catherine could have them do some work to keep them from getting bored.

Just as Catherine stepped out of the gate, she spotted the familiar black Bentley. It had been a while since she had seen it, and she felt a twinge of longing. She walked straight toward the car.

Paxton had been keeping an eye on the gate. When he noticed Catherine’s appearance, he promptly informed the person in the back seat. “Boss, Miss Swann is here.”

The words “Miss Swann” caused Branden, who had been dozing, to immediately open his bloodshot eyes, which tugged at Paxton’s heart. In order to return to see Catherine as soon as possible, Branden hadn’t slept for three days. Initially, they had planned to return tomorrow, but after finishing his business, Branden immediately took a special plane back to Loxton. Branden didn’t disturb her after arriving at the school and learning that Catherine was still in the laboratory. Instead, he chose to wait for her in the car.

When Branden saw Catherine, his tired eyes immediately lit up with joy. He concealed his fatigue, showing no signs of weariness. He straightened his clothes, opened the car door, and got out. Just as he steadied himself, Catherine approached him.

Catherine stood with her arms crossed, staring at Branden with an indiscernible look in her eyes. ”

Shouldn’t you be back the day after tomorrow? How come you’re here today?”

Upon hearing Catherine’s question, Branden curled lips into a tender and indulgent smile. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards himself. Then, he said, “I’m just like a Superman when I work. What takes an ordinary person three days to finish, I can handle it in a few hours.”
